for i'm bleeding on the inside now
(gauze on my wounds, cant be without)
but the blood hasnt quite reached my head
tossed in the corner like an unworn pair of shoes
(reminds me of soft turquoise leather)
we hold the answer to the fourth dimension in the palms of our hands.

just keep in sight, if you run too fast you'll turn the corner
for i'm bleeding on the inside now
(inhale, inhale, dizzy frantic sobbing)
i've forgotten all about you, almost
give me another minute and i'll have it all worked out.

because i'm good at long division but i dont know about these
(fractions marked down on my forearm)
i was never (never never) any good at math, darling
(never say never when never is all you have)
cause dear i've forgotten all about you almost
took it apart, put it back together, and still i dont have it all worked out.

just don't shift, don't breathe you'll break me
any of them would come running in a heartbeat
(she still says she's unnatractive in photographs)
i can honestly say i love your unpredictability
you give everything around you a
rain-flavor-raspberry-scent.

when i'm bleeding on the inside again
that cold cold touch like winter in an overcoat
(mitten kiss)
snow-blind, i need persuasion when it comes to staying warm.

just keep in sight, if you run too fast you'll turn the corner
just keep in sight, if you run too fast you'll turn the corner
(INHALE/EXHALE/CHOKE)
i'm warmer by the second, half a minute gone
(DIZZY/PANIC/CHOKE)
fall to my knees, suddenly thoughts are so much sharper.

for i'm bleeding on the inside now
yes, i'm bleeding on the inside now.
don't worry, darling, i've got it all worked out.
I SAID LOUDER "PLEASE DONT WORRY I'VE GOT IT ALL WORKED OUT"
"I'VE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT YOU. I'VE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT YOU, ALMOST"
(CRYING/CRYING/CRYING/CRYING/CRYING/CRYING/CRYING)

THAT COLD COLD TOUCH LIKE WINTER IN AN OVERCOAT.
